Oh good ! Are we going to get to see it ? :palm:
Isn't 1/2" - 40 a micrometer thread ? It seems very fine, what are you doing with that I wonder...
I got some more cast iron discs yesterday. These are only 2" x 1/2" but its lovely close grained metal. I wish I could get a billet of the stuff... Well beggars can't be choosers. :thumbup:

I push my Fly Cutter quite hard at times so use inserts now so I don't have to sharpen so often! Still use HSS sometimes though.

I got pictures
My fly cutter
Not quite happy with the finish yet. Working on cutter geometry
The use of the 1/2-40 thread. To make a jig/fixture to cut 40 tpi in any diameter on my taig lathe that has no threading capabilities as sold

To ensure pictures taken with an iPad appear the correct way round the lens needs to be at the top left corner as you hold it in landscape mode. DAMHIKT.

Nice ! I like the round insert.
I can see me trying that on the end of a bit of 3/8" round in my disc fly cutter.
What is the insert ?
